you mentioned what jay carney said, to confuse matters more. it turns out if you check u.s. law dating back to the 1980s, in in fact, egypt and other nation, a handful, are labeled specifically allies, which gives them special status and that's why it made it even more confusing at the state department when the spokeswoman was pressed on it and said yes, egypt is an ally. take a listen. >> i'm going to refer you to the white house. >> you're saying the administration, still regards egypt adds a nonnato ally and still a recipient of all the privileges that that entails? >> yes. >> yes. that sort of contradicts what the president said in that interview. the bottom line is, this shows that especially in the wake of this violence and the fall of the mubarak government, the u.s. is still sorting out exactly what this relationship is going to be like moving forward. >> shep: lot to sort through. the u.s. house of representatives approved a bill that will stop the government from shutting down. in that bill was aid to both egypt and libya. some lawmakers are pushing back on that id

white house press secretary jay carney says it's not true. >> he gets it every day, okay? the president of the united states gets the presidential daily briefing every day. there is a document that he reads every day when he is not -- well, he always reads it every day because he's a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials, and when he is physically here, most days he has a meeting in his office, the oval one, with -- [laughter] participants in his national security team including, obviously, tom donilon and others. he also has regular meetings with -- >> physical briefing from whoever's -- >> this is a case of -- you know, i don't know how far i want to go here, but i believe if you compare our foreign policy record with the one that preceded this one, we're comfortable with that comparison. megyn: mr. carney was then asked if he thought the report was misleading. his response: the article was amusing. joining us now, the man who wrote that report who may be familiar to you, marc thiessen, a former speech writer for president george w. bush. he's also author o

. >> moments ago, jay carney refused to comment on any change in the personal views on marriage equality but said this about the vice presidents. >> i have no update on the president's personal views. what the vice president said yesterday was to make the same point that the president has made previously. the committed and loving same sex couples deserve the same rights and protections enjoyed by all americans. >> nbc news correspondent kristen welker joins me live from the white house. they're definitely walking a fine dance around this one. what the vice president came out and i believe authentically said over the week, at least his feelings about what he views for marriage equality. now the white house seems to be doing its best job at trying to keep itself in the conversation but respectfully so when it comes to its politics. >> reporter: absolutely. the white house taking the tactic that, look, there is not a lot of daylight between what the vice president said and the president has said in the past. interestingly, thomas, what the obama campaign is trying to do is to sort of shift

interestingly enough, yesterday, jay carney said that he felt the administration had struck the appropriate balance. meanwhile, very liberal columnists in "the washington post," e.j. dionne said the president had "utterly botched the issue through his progressive catholic allies under the bus with this ruling." >> the interesting thing is they can't be segregated out of it because there are people that can be exempt from this particular thing but because catholic universities, take, for example, notre dame, they employ so many other people who aren't necessarily affiliated with their religious side and that's why they cannot be exempt from it. and yet, they still operate as a catholic university and so it still violates what's being described as their conscience. so that's the interesting part of how it becomes more of a global thing than just within the church. in the meantime, let's get to the rest of the stories making headlines at this hour and speaking of birth control, we have a massive recall to tell you about this morning. pfizer says about one million packets of its pills may not h

>> well, we'll see what jay carney says in the next couple of moments. i suspect from dealing with them in recent months on these various polls that have come out, they're going to say it's just a snapshot, let's look at the next two or three polls, and it's important to see whether this is an aberration. it's far off the double digit lead among women that president obama has had for some time. if this were to continue, the trend we're starting to see in the poll, it would suggest perhaps how women voters care about the economy could be one of those factors because obviously the obama administration has been pushing issues about women's health and other things like that, but ultimately if this comes down to the economy that could be big with women voters and also independent voters seem to be shifting towards romney. megyn: the other thing is the white house, they have their own internal pollster, they don't rely on cbs news on fox news or anybody else to get their poll, might they be ahead of the curve? not only did the president speak at an all womens'
